About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Not having a mission

ABOUT ME

Uff! What a difficult answer. I do not even know myself! After a very hard personal problem (in my family) I´ve changed my point of view in many issues.I´ve decided to make some changes in my life. And travelling is a good way to think about it.I studied a bussines degree and I´ve always worked as economist in Spain. I´m a very responsible person and a hard worker.Ups! I really don´t know what else I can tell. Better I´ll tell you in person!

PHILOSOPHY

Scottish saying: BETTER DO IT THAN WISH IT DONE

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have to say that my experience has exceeded my expectations. I´ll keep on couchsurfing!

Interests

Cooking, cycling, trekking, swiming, cinema, music, literature, travelling, mycology, responsible consumption, nature, environment, languages and other cultures, bio-construction, social economy.
I´m learning to play the djembe. I´m a totally beginner, but recently I´ve discovered that it has started to sound like MUSIC!

Music, Movies, and Books

Soy una ávida lectora. Creo que he leido casi todos los géneros. Pero mi favoritos son la novelas históricas (tengo especial interés en el mundo romano).
Me encanta el cine, pero cada vez voy menos: estoy un poco cansada del cine comercial estadounidense. Cada vez veo más cine español e independiente.
La música siempre me acompaña. Creo que podría ponerle banda sonora a mi vida.

Some samples:
Movies: Blade Runner, Potemkim, The Bear.
Music: Galician celtic music, Mozart, Erika Baduh, Amaral.
Books: The Lord of the Rings; everything of Isaac Asimov; I, Claudius.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

NIGHT SKY IN THE SAHARA...SOOOO MANY STARS

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: Spanish and cooking ... and Spanish cooking, of course!!
I could learn: ... anything! I´m so curious...
I share: my optimism and positive energy, my time, my efforts, my strength, my mind.
Creo que todos tenemos mucho que ofrecer y a veces no somos conscientes de ello.
